No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems that rely on a single unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of design and function.
A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are used. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature inside your home for all of its occupants.
They are extremely simple to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. In addition, regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as is feasible.
Many people use ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are ideal for adding an extra space to a house, for converting a garage or basement into living space and also for boosting the temperature in a room that is often too hot or too cold.
A ductless system has the advantage of being a lot more economical than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are also more efficient when combined with a heat-pump, which heats and cools the house.

Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to cut down on your energy consumption and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. This makes them ideal for homes with a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current which is delivered to the individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers themselves run with a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a ductless system.
It takes just 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home operates independently from the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms while leaving the living space at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to recover Many people are contemplating building a gym in their home or bedroom home improvement. When you do this, your current heating and cooling system might be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an extra area of your house without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and prevent your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This will aid in reducing your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. These units are usually mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system in order to cool a large-sized house with many floors.
Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, so that occupants can choose the temperature they would like to have in their particular room. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones within your home or business.
It is very useful to to control the temperature of each area of your home, particularly when you have several family members who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are in use.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy use by choosing an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way that a ductless system can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. Using a remote control, you can adjust the temperature for each room in your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.
A ductless system operates similarly to a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and is then released outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, a home addition or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or combined to cool the entire house. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house and also for new construction or renovations that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings like an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you individually regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
